摘要

Abstract

Expanded graphite (EG) films exhibit potential use in a wide field including thermal management

conductive applications

and electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding. However

their poor tensile strength and brittleness are crucial deficiencies for commercial applications. To address these defects

in our work

natural rubber (NR) is employed to improve EG films for better mechanical strength and flexibility. The origin of the strengthening effect of EG films by the addition of natural rubber mainly arises from the formation of a simulate shell structure. Compared to the neat EG films

the addition of merely 2 wt% NR can give rise to superior ductility. Further

the loading of 10 wt% NR realizes a significant mechanical enhancement of the EG/NR films

i.e

2.4 and 11.4 times increase in tensile strength and elongation at break

respectively. Besides

EG/NR films containing 10 wt% NR can still sustain excellent thermal and electric conductivities of 173 W·m

−1

·K

−1

and 75 S·cm

−1

respectively. Furthermore

a very high EMI of 41.4 dB is achieved as the film thickness reaches 50 μm. Thus

the lightweight EG/NR films with comprehensive performance as well as their virtue of green and simple large-scale preparation endow them with the possibility of designing next-generation flexible electronics.
